delivery formulation injection history
Overview
Peptide drug delivery has evolved from simple subcutaneous injections to sophisticated oral, nasal, and implantable systems.
Key Milestones
- 1920s: Subcutaneous insulin injections
- 1970s: Nasal peptide delivery explored
- 1980s: Implantable peptide pumps
- 1990s: PEGylation extends half-life
- 2000s: Oral peptide delivery attempts
- 2010s: Microneedle and nanoneedle systems
- 2019: Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) approved
Impact
Overcoming the delivery challenge remains the greatest obstacle to broader peptide therapeutic use. Oral semaglutide marked a breakthrough for oral peptides.
